<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Richter scale </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earthquakes occur as a result of tectonic stress that is generated by the boundaries across the earth. The energy released from the plates travels as seismic waves that can be measured and felt at the same time. The earthquake intensity is therefore measured by Richter scale; it measures the size of the seismic waves determining the strength of the earthquake and rates it on a scale ranging from one to ten.

The severity of the quake differs based on different events that can be easily determined using the measurement devices.

lapo4ka [179]

The type of energy that is produced by all the renewable energy <em>resources</em> in order to generate <u>electricity</u> is mechanical energy.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

<em>Mechanical energy</em> is generated from motion that is regarded as kinetic energy. It is achieved when renewable resources such as <em>sun</em>, <em>wind</em>, <em>hydro</em>, and <em>tidal</em> produce hydroelectricity in plants.

Therefore, large factories and machines turbines produce electricity by using energies from renewable resources.
